I have imported a spell named "Shade Shield" into my map and it works like this
"The hero creates around him 4 black arrows that rotates around him and if that arrow collide with a unit it will deal 100/200/300 damage and knocks that unit for 200/300/400 distance away, the sheilds last 8 seconds at all levels."
but the problem is that is seems to knockback everything in their way, even buildings! How do I make it to only knockback enemies and NOT buildings or magic immune units?

But I'd honestly put in inside the unit group check and use conditions instead of that mess.
Example would be in my Necrotic Beam resource:
